Текст песни и перевод на английский Roberto Murolo - Nu quarti 'e luna

Nu quarti 'e luna

Cielo, e che nuvole stasera
Pare ca 'o munno se nne more
Ma 'na speranza pe' stu core
Nun po' muri'
Nun ce vo' na luna chiena
Pe' capì si me vuo' bene
M'è abbastato 'o ppoco 'e luna
Pe' tte capi'

Che m'ha saputo fa' 'stu quarto 'e luna
Che m'ha saputo fa' chi voglio bene
E me turmenta sempe nu pensiero
Nunn'è 'o vero ca pienze sulo a me
Comme so' triste 'e note 'e 'sta canzone
E comm'è amaro 'o bbene 'e chi vuo' bbene
Nun me guarda', si chiagno nun guarda'
Che m'ha saputo fa' 'stu quarto 'e luna

Chiagno pecchè tu m'e lassato
E no pecchè t'aggio perduta
Chiagno ca tu m'e abbandunato
Senza pecchè
Quanta vote anima mia
Faccio 'a strata ca tu faie
Vac' appriesso a 'sta bucia
Pe 'tte vede

Che m'ha saputo fa' 'nu quarto 'e luna
Che m'ha saputo fa' chi voglio bene
Nun me guarda', si chiagno nun guarda'
Che m'ha saputo fa' 'stu quarto 'e luna

Quarter Moon

Sky, the clouds are out tonight
It looks like the world is dying
But my heart cannot die
There is still hope
I don't need a full moon
To see if you still love me
Just a sliver was enough
For me to know

A quarter moon gave me a glimmer of hope
A quarter moon showed me who I truly love
But there is a thought still lingering
That I may not be your true love
Oh, the nights are ever so sad
And the taste of unrequited love is bitter
Don't look at me, if I cry, don't look
A quarter moon gave me a glimmer of hope

I cry because you left me
And not because I lost you
I cry because you abandoned me
For no reason at all
My dear, so often
I walk the same path you do
I follow in your wake
To catch a glimpse of you

A quarter moon gave me a glimmer of hope
A quarter moon showed me who I truly love
Don't look at me, if I cry, don't look
A quarter moon gave me a glimmer of hope
